http://www.revolvermag.com/news/review-iced-earth-plagues-of-babylon.html#commentsWed, 22 Jan 2014 17:10:12 +0000http://www.revolvermag.com/?p=56720The good news: Singer Stu Block, the man of many voices, remains super-powerful on the follow-up to 2011′s Dystopia. The Canadian’s choirs of doom on Plagues of Babylon‘s title track are as monumental as Iced Earth’s apocalyptic power-metal message demands. Yet while new drummer Raphael Saini (ex-Chaoswave) contributes inventive and forceful parts on bludgeoning numbers like “Democide” and “The Culling,” this album only matches its predecessor’s aggression, not the songwriting. Disjointed song structures and abrupt endings frequently overshadow Jon Schaffer’s razor-edged riffage. The gruff and nasty “Peacemaker,” celebrating the outlaw mentality, is an exception.

Check out “Plagues of Babylon” from Plagues of Babylon.

For this live release, the band recorded a 2.5 hour show in a 6,000-year-old amphitheater. An anticipation, Iced Earth are premiering a clip right here right now, featuring their performance of the song “Stormrider.” Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!

The lawsuit will affect those who allegedly used the BitTorrent file-sharing site to download Lacuna Coil’s Dark Adrenaline (with 3,136 defendants) and Iced Earth’s Dystopia (with 4,327 defendants).

All defendants are named as “John Doe” and identified only by IP addresses. Soon a court will decide if the label can subpoena different Internet service providers to obtain names of the alleged infringers. If that is granted and John Does don’t want to engage in a legal battle, they could settle out of court for a few thousand dollars. If they go to court, it’s estimated they could pay “statutory damages of up to $150,000 per defendant.”

A Hackensack, New Jersey attorney, Jay. R McDaniel is representing the London-based company Century Media Ltd. McDaniel told NorthJersey.com, “What’s critical to these cases, and what many people don’t understand, is that it’s the distribution that is the evil influence.”

Iced Earth guitarist Jon Schaffer wrote on his Facebook page about the suit saying, “I felt it was important to clarify that we had no knowledge of this motion and were, sadly, not asked permission.”

Schaffer said he understood the music industry is changing and because of that his band has embraced legal streaming services such as Spotify. However, he says he would not have supported such lawsuit saying, “We feel this is a misguided effort and want to make sure our fans know we would have not given our consent would we have been asked.”

There is no official comment as of yet from Century Media other than the American offices say they knew nothing about the suit.
